The irony is that Black culture is emulated by segments of South Asian youth.” Asians in general have a different socioeconomic status than other groups of people of color, and are the highest earning group over all racial groups, according to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics [1].Part of this privilege may be an underlying reason for these negative attitudes towards interracial dating with other people of color.I was in a relationship with a woman of Tamil background and the relationship was of profound mutual deep respect and open communication.Unfortunately, black men are stereotyped and fear of the unknown(among families) is often the culprit when women decide to find a soul mate instead of an arranged marriage.And social and class differences aside – there’s a fear and a reality of exoticism, which is perpetuated through media of all types.

A quick Google search about Indian Women and Black Men led me to a South Asian website with heated discussion which included attempts at an honest conversation and horrible stereotyping and exotifying on both ends[1].
